Genomic cosmetics
A type of skin, a type of treatment
The human Genome Project
The human genome is present in each and every cell of our bodies and defines what we are like, from our hair colour to the way our bodies function
For years, science worked to decode the 3 billion letters that make up the human
genome. The Human genome Project achieved this goal in 2003, when the map of the
genome was completed.

Genetics has created a new way of approaching cosmetics, applying the most
advanced and precise technology to skin care. In short, genetics has eliminated the need for speculation
about what the best cosmetic for your skin is, avoiding endless trial and error.

The Book of Of Life: DNA
DNA is often described as the human body’s book of instructions, as it contains the genetic information for cellular growth and function
It is grouped into 23 pairs of chromosomes, half of which come from the mother and the other half from the father. Two of these chromosomes, the X and the Y, determine the person’s sex.
Each chromosome is made up of more than 25.000 genes, which act as units of information that determine the hair colour, the skin type, the number of white blood cells and countless other aspects…
DNA is represented by 4 lettres, correponding to each of the nucleotides to which they make reference: adenine (A), tyimine (t), cytosine (C) and guanine (G).
Throughout the genome alterations take place in these “letters”. Those alterations are known as SNP (single-nucleotide polimorphism).
Our genetic test analyses what are known as SNPs. SNPs are small variations that we all have in the way our genes give instructions to our body and that make us unique. In other words, they are changes in these 4 letters of the genetic alphabet: ATCG (scientifically known as nucleotides) and that directly affect how the body makes these proteins that then have to work for us.
Genetic Analyses
Thanks to genetic research, it is now possible to “read” a person’s genome, identify the presence of alteratios, assess their effects on the body and design a customised treatment that takes into account the gene map and is therefore much more effective.
Genidentity genetic analysis evaluates the genetic variations related with cellular longevity, tissue architecture, pigmentation, wrinkles, cellular detoxification, hypersensitivity and hydration and elasticity. Current and future problems /deficiencies are also diagnosed in order to create an appropriate formula.
